Planning Toolbar

Use the Planning toolbar to perform key actions as you work with a iAccess plan. For example, you can save the plan, publish data, or revert your changes back to the plan's original state.

Contents

Your access to the toolbar options is based on your assigned role's access rights on the Planning tab and iAccess tab on the Roles form in Vision (Configuration > Security > Roles). If you don't have the Vision Resource Planning module, then your access is based on your assigned role's access rights on the iAccess tab.

Note: These options are enabled and disabled based on the function you are performing. For example, if you make changes to a record and click , that option is disabled until you make additional changes.

Click this icon to save the current iAccess plan as the baseline. The baseline acts as a snapshot of the plan at a certain point in time and is useful for comparison purposes. You can have only one baseline version for any plan. Any changes you make to the existing baseline will overwrite the previous baseline data. After a baseline exists, this option is available only if your role is allowed to change the baseline.

This icon indicates the plan status:
  • : The project has no iAccess plan or Vision plan that is set to be in utilization, or it has a Vision plan that is set to be in utilization. .
  • : The project has a Vision plan that is set to be in utilization. However, the details of this Vision plan display differently in iAccess. The difference may be due to unmapped phase or task rows, or the plan level rows that resources are assigned to or how they are assigned.
  • : A Vision plan has been converted to an iAccess plan, or an iAccess plan has been created and published, or an iAccess plan has been reverted to its last published values. No unpublished changes exist for the plan.
  • : The project has an iAccess plan for which plan and/or baseline changes have been saved but not published.
  • : The project has an iAccess plan for which unsaved plan and/or baseline changes exist.
